NUsing the Flash (Super-Intelligent Flash)

Turning the Flash Off

Lower the flash where flash photography is prohibited or to capture natural lighting under dim light. A tripod can be used to prevent blurring when lighting is poor.

RIf the flash will fire, pwill be displayed when the shutter button is pressed halfway. At slow shutter speeds, kwill appear in the display to warn that pictures may be blurred; use of a tripod is recommended.

R The flash may fire several times with each shot. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.

RThe flash may cause vignetting.

Using the Flash

The flash is automatically raised and lowered when the camera is turned on and off. If the flash is lowered manually when the camera is on, it will remain slightly open so that it can be activated by manually returning it to the fully raised position.

Red-Eye Removal

When Intelligent Face Detection (P43) and red-eye removal (P92) are on, red-eye removal is available in auto (K; RED EYE REDUC- TION), fl ash on (L; FORCED FLASH), and slow sync (M; RED EYE & SLOW) modes. Red-eye removal minimizes “red-eye” caused when light from the fl ash is refl ected from the subject’s retinas as shown in the illustration at right.
